Vasoline..help or worthless in 48-50F water

applying a thin coat of vasoline to the core + arms is messy i'm sure, but does it help when wearing a wetsuit??

  • I appreciate all your help. Sounds like vasoline doesn't help from a warmth standpoint, so I'll try swimming with it. A couple of notes, the vasoline and Pam doesnt dissolve the wetsuit, it just takes the manufactures screened name off it. that why they don't recommend it. :) I tried swimming in English Bay recently and my feet and hands went completely numb and hurt alot after about 25 meters. Very Frustrating.:confused:
